How to get a Foul Invoker of Varshan in Diablo 4

The Foul Invoker of Varshan is a type of Malignant Invoker in season one of Diablo 4 that players can use to summon a very specific enemy—the Echo of Varshan, a tougher version of the boss from the season one questline.

It’s different from Regular Malignant Invokers and Wrathful Malignant Invokers, which can be used to make Outgrowths in Malignant Tunnels turn into enemies that you can kill for Malignant Hearts. It’s also harder to obtain.

Finding the the steps to acquire the Foul Invoker of Varshan is quite complicated. And to what is making matters worse, It is not explained very well in the game. A little help can go a long way, so I’ll break them for you.

Getting a Foul Invoker of Varshan in Diablo 4

1. First, you must first complete the season one storyline and defeat Varshan as well as the first Capstone Dungeon to reach World Tier Three.
2. After that, don’t switch to World Tier Three just yet. Instead, use the crafting recipe you received upon defeating Varshan, which is for a standard Invoker of Varshan.
3. Craft the Invoker of Varshan at Cormond’s Workbench and then head into a Malignant Tunnel on World Tier One or Two.
4. At the end of the tunnel, see if there is a gate with a padlock on it. If there is, you can fight the Echo of Varshan using your Invoker of Varshan on the Outgrowth after going through the gate
5. Not all Malignant Tunnels have this gate, but I found The Boiling Wounds (Fractured Peaks) and The Ravening Pit (Dry Steppes) were the two most consistent tunnels to have it.
6. Defeat the Echo of Varshan and then pick up the recipe that they leave behind, which is for the Foul Invoker of Varshan.
7. Go to Cormond’s Workbench again and you can now craft the Foul Invoker of Varshan
8. Head to World Tier Three or Four, go through another Malignant Tunnel, see if it has the padlocked gate, and then go through if it does.
9. Use your Foul Invoker of Varshan on the Outgrowth to spawn an even tougher version of the Echo of Varshan.

Crafting the regular Invoker of Varshan in Diablo 4

If you need help crafting a regular Invoker of Varshan, here’s the recipe:

• 1000 Gold
• Brutal Malignant Invoker
• Vicious Malignant Invoker
• Devious Malignant Invoker
• Wrathful Malignant Invoker
• Demon’s Heart

Note that you can only use the Invoker of Varshan on World Tier 1 and 2.

1. Head to the Malignant Tunnel, walk all the way to the end where you might find the unmarked door. These have a chance to spawn, therefore it is possible you will not reach this door.
2. Once there, interact with the door and behind it will be the Malignant Pustulate.
3. Consume your Invoker of Varshan after interacting with the Malignant Pustulate
4. This will spawn in the Echo of Varshan.
5. Fight and defeat him for the Foul Invoker of Varshan recipe.
6. Craft the Foul Invoker of Varshan at Cormond’s Workbench.

Crafting the Foul Invoker of Varshan in Diablo 4

Crafting the the Foul Invoker of Varshan requires the following crafting materials:

• 50 Sigil Powder
• Invoker of Varshan

Sigil Powder is a material you only find from salvaging Nightmare Sigils at The Occultist. You can find Nightmare Sigils in Nightmare Dungeons after defeating Diablo’s main campaign.

How to use the Foul Invoker of Varshan in Diablo 4

With the Foul Invoker of Varshan, you will be able to summon an Echo of Varshan in World Tier 3. Take the Foul Invoker of Varshan to the end of the Malignant Tunnel once again, go through the unmarked door, interact with the Malignant Pustulate and consume the Foul Invoker of Varshan. This will spawn in the Echo of Varshan once again on a harder level and allow you to defeat him again. This will drop the recipe for the Tormented Invoker of Varshan.

Craft the Tormented Invoker of Varshan at Cormond’s Workbench.

How to get and use the Tormented Invoker of Varshan in Diablo 4

Just like the other Invokers, craft this one at Cormond’s Workbench. Here is what you need to craft this item:

• Invoker of Varshan
• Five Fiend Roses
• Five Forgotten Souls.

It will allow you to fight a level 80 Tormented Echo of Varshan in World Tier 4. Repeat the steps just like with the other Invokers in order to find and fight the Tormented Echo of Varshan.

You can acquire individual Malignant Invokers by using Malignant Ichor, a material that can be looted from killing Malignant Monsters, opening chests, or salvaging Malignant Hearts. Demon’s Heart is a common item to find after killing enemies and opening chests.
